Easter 2020 – The First Virtual Easter
Never in our lifetimes could we have imagined that we’d have only a Virtual Easter
My whole life Easter has been a yearly tradition with Church, egg hunts, candy, and having a large meal with extended family. And here we are staring at the same 4 walls, and thankful that the grocery delivery that we ordered 5 days ago arrived in time with the baskets and lunch meat ham. Our Easter celebration this year won’t include extended family because we are all sheltered in place like most of our country. But sometimes all the traditions and, candy, eggs, pictures and large meal can croud out the true profound meaning of Easter. This Easter I plan on focusing on what Christ did for us and being thankful for the life He gave me, not just my physical life, but my spiritual one as well.
“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:4-9 (NIV)
And that is what we have to be thankful for not just this Easter 2020, but every Easter.
